Need help choosing backsplash
LG
8 years ago
We need a durable backsplash that's not too expensive, and fairly easy to install (we have installed slate tile floor and backsplash in the past) a bit of color and pattern is OK but I don't want it to clash with the granite. Any ideas are appreciated!

Comments (1)You have a very difficult room to work with here. For the curtains I would definitely choose something with pattern and a color that will "warm up the space" . I would buy longer panels that would go to atleast the top of the baseboard. I would also add a textured bamboo shade in a warm wood tone behind the curtains. By layering the window treatments you can completely hide the window when you don't want to see it without having to mess with the curtains. If you are going to keep all of the furnishings that you have in the room, I would defintely rearrange them. I would try to wall-mount the TV on the wall where the white sofa is now.You could place it on a hinged bracket which would allow you to swing it out for viewing and then push back out of the way when not in use. If cou cannot wall mount it, I still think that I would relocate it here. I would place the white sofa in front of the window (with it's lovely new blinds and curtains) which would supply a better "backdrop" for it than the white wall which it is now blending into. If you could, it would actually be a good idea to lose the white couch altogether, leave the black sofa where it is, and place a low bench or a pair of ottomans facing the black couch thus creating a conversation group while still being able to see over them when watching TV. I would define the seating group with a plush area rug with plenty of warm color that will compliment your new curtains while warming up the white floors. In fact, since the rug is probably going to be the most expensive item I would pick it out first and let it set the color palette for you....See MoreNeed help on the furniture layout for open plan living room
Comments (9)Thanks for your comments, its great to discuss with houzers! You are so right @decoenthusiaste the view is beautiful and one reason why I chose the apartment. the room is longer than it is wide, and I wanted the kitchen/bar to be included in the seating so the attached pic is how I was planning to lay it out. @cdrdesign I can't/change the table, its a gorgeous mahogany piece I had custom made and one I see keeping for some years yet! I dont plan a TV in this room, will put it in another room. This room in for living and entertaining guests. Sorry I dont have layout software, so you will have to make do with my scribbles using powerpoint!

Comments (14)Hi Fred, Thanks for the want of the precise measurements. The U shape area in my kitchen is 64" - 104 - 99" (left - centre - right). Height of the kitchen area is 107". The wall with the fridge has total length of 99" Fridge is 32" wide, 29" deep, 73" high (I bought this fridge on a good bargain but realized it was slightly oversized in this kitchen area, but got to live with it now) The wall beside the fridge is 23" deep I know some gap has to be left between this wall, the fridge and the wall mounted/countertop cabinets for ventilation I guess. So I'd say the cabinets on this wall will have a length of only 63"/64"? The microwave is 18.5 wide, 13" deep, 10.5" high The oven is 24" wide, 24" deep, 24" high. The wall next to the fridge which will have this feature cabinet 42" wide, 110" high which is next to the main door. I'm thinking the feature wall is kind of plain, but it covers up where the fridge is sticking out....See MoreResale EA - Need help to gather idea how to renovate my house
Comments (10)Hi yoyo188, that's a very detailed plan! Looks fine with me, except I have a concern regarding the dining area. (The following done with Houzz Sketch function!) Just wondering if some of the guests at the dining table might potentially be facing the shoe rack? Not sure which you prefer, but I'd either reposition the shoe rack or the dining table: Regarding the proximity of the dining table to the kitchen, I like referencing the following Houzz Tours: [https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-infusing-the-popular-scandi-theme-with-local-flavour-stsetivw-vs~84802854[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-infusing-the-popular-scandi-theme-with-local-flavour-stsetivw-vs~84802854) [https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-this-flats-defining-style-is-streamlined-and-cosy-stsetivw-vs~86080574[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-this-flats-defining-style-is-streamlined-and-cosy-stsetivw-vs~86080574) [https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-finally-a-scan-dustrial-home-that-is-different-stsetivw-vs~85725844[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-finally-a-scan-dustrial-home-that-is-different-stsetivw-vs~85725844) But that's just my opinion, let me know what you think?...See More
